The Minnesota Wild have made a strategic move by trading for Chase Priskie, a defenseman who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. The Wild acquired Priskie and a 2025 draft pick from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Declan Chisholm and a later draft pick. Priskie, who performed well in the AHL this past season with 12 goals and 23 assists for the Hershey Bears, brings valuable experience and depth to Minnesota's blue line.

Originally drafted in the sixth round by the Capitals, Priskie boasts a solid AHL career with 164 points in 314 games. He also has postseason experience, having contributed significantly during a Calder Cup run. The trade reflects the Wild's aim to bolster their defense as they look ahead to the next season.
